Imprints of Sedatives and Hypnotics

Submitted by davidm on May 9, 2007 - 8:18pm

In April 2007 the US Food and Drug Administration gave approval to several generic companies to manufacture immediate-release zolpidem tartrate (generic Ambien). At this time 15 companies received approval and several are actively marketing the generics.

Zolpidem is a fast and short acting non-benzodiazepine drug used for the treatment of insomnia. Zolpidem is considered a sedative/hypnotic drug and is indicated for short-term treatment of insomnia, generally two weeks. It is a Schedule IV medicine meaning the drug carries a risk of addiction and/or dependence if taken for a long period of time or in larger doses than prescribed.

In March the FDA requested stronger warnings on the sedative/hypnotic class of drugs. Some potential risks are severe allergic reactions or driving while under the influence of these medicines. Less serious problems are also documented - making phone calls, shopping and performing other activities with no recollection of the events later.

The purchase of prescription drugs online from US or Canadian pharmacies, while legal, may not be without risk. The FDA has a consumer guide for buying prescription drugs online.
